| killerzX said: and gay sex, is often harmful, gay people live significantly shorter than straight people. and would you be so kind as to tell me the exact age, of when every person is scientificly proven to be "mature enough to make life affecting decisions" as fro your other points its a bunch of what ifs and can be applied to any relationship, should we use that for grounds to deny "civil rights" to people. |
It's already national established at 18, with some states allowing 16. This is the age at which it is scientifically believed that a person can make well informed decisions or at least are capable of fully understanding their decisions.
In fact, on teh federal level the age of 14 is probably not out of the question for marriage depending on circumstances, I'll bet.
A bunch of what if's? Clearly I'm arguing with a master debator. On the federal level it is likely possible that both of those marriages can take place, given the circumstances. And first cousins can marry in many states. In fact, Jerry Lee Lewis married his 13 year old cousin in Mississippi.
